	Māori Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Turia, a junior minister, once informed that voting against the government would appear "incompatible" with holding ministerial rank, announced on April 30, 2004 her intention to resign from the Labour Party.
		Tariana Turia, however, believes that the party can achieve unity, and says that in the new Māori Party, "all Māori parties [have] come together in the spirit of unity".
		Tariana Turia held Te Tai Hauauru; Pita Sharples won the Tamaki-Makaurau electorate; Hone Harawira, son of Titewhai Harawira, won Te Tai Tokerau; and Te Ururoa Flavell won Waiariki.

	Decision Day Looms for Tariana Turia
		But other Turia supporters are pointing to what the MP has achieved through her five associate portfolios and consider she is more valuable where she is. They point to Matiu Rata's experience when, disillusioned, he left Labour and forced a byelection in 1980 - losing by 991 votes.
		Labour is also taking every opportunity to reiterate these points, and to "remind" Turia there are many Maori in her electorate who aren't on the hui circuit and for whom the foreshore is a somewhat remote issue.
		Turia, herself accused of stalling simply so she can use her ministerial resources and networks to build byelection support, has been particularly angered by the Tamihere intrusion.

	Distortion of Tariana Turia's speech (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		I am concerned that the Prime Minister is perpetuating a distortion with respect to Tariana Turia's recent speech.
		In using the word 'holocaust' Tariana was careful to stress that she did not want to get into a pointless controversy measuring one human rights tragedy against another.
		Tariana has every right to remind us about the loss of life and injustices that are the direct result of colonisation, and it is outrageous that she should be gagged.

	The Head Heeb: Breaking the alliance
		Former New Zealand minister Tariana Turia has carried out her threat to form a Maori ethnic party to contest the next general election.
		The new party's first test is likely to come in the upcoming by-election in Turia's Te Tai Hauaru electorate, which she must fight due to her resignation from Labour.
		The by-election is currently scheduled for July 10, and Turia is on a drive to build support among traditional leaders in the intervening six weeks.

		For her part, Turia is pushing to keep up the fight against the Foreshore and Seabed Bill.

		Mrs Turia issued a statement yesterday which said she had always supported decriminalisation of cannabis use and would continue to advocate "cannabis reform".
		Mrs Turia said because the other parties were not fighting the by-election, she hoped one could be avoided because of the cost to the taxpayer in staging it.

		Turia has bolstered her mana as a shrewd, tough-minded political operator and given her new Maori Party a definite psychological edge over Labour.
		Turia was considered most favoured Maori MP by 19.9% of voters on the Maori roll, ahead of Winston Peters on 11.1%, Associate Maori Affairs Minister John Tamihere on 6.7% and Maori Affairs Minister Parekura Horomia on 5.4%.
		Mrs Turia said she was confident the report was incorrect, since the SIS was explicitly required not to take any action for the purpose of furthering or harming the interest of any political party...

	G21 ASIA - "Whither the Maori?"
		Tariana Turia, Associate Minister of Maori Affairs in Helen Clark's Labour government, recently caused a tsunami-sized wave of disapproval when addressing an international conference of psychologists in Auckland.
		Associate Minister Turia was very specific in her remarks, citing the example of Maori in Taranaki (situated on the west coast of New Zealand's North Island) to support her use of the holocaust label.
		Incidentally, Ms Turia likened the colonizers to a bunch of latter day home invaders, whose traumatizing legacy causes the sort of psychological disturbance which can lead to all sorts of disorder later in life.

		In her victory speech, wearing a korowai gifted to her as a symbol of her mana, Mrs Turia reflected on the tupuna (ancestors) who had died before their struggle to assert rangatiratanga was achieved.
		Mrs Turia said the Maori Party was up against the odds from the beginning — but for a party only 15 months old, getting four members into Parliament and two percent of the party vote was a huge victory.
		Mrs Turia said they had a clear expectation to look at the foreshore and seabed legislation, which the United Nations found to be discriminatory, to enable due process for Maori.

	The Head Heeb: Gaining in the polls
		Turia's party, though, isn't the first attempt at creating a Maori ethnic party; the list of New Zealand political parties records several prior attempts.
		Turia's Maori Party has the advantages of an influential leader and widespread Maori anger over the foreshore and seabed issue.
		Still, if Turia keeps her seat, the Maori Party will be cut in on the MMP apportionment, and could pick up three or four more seats with 20 percent of the Maori vote nationwide even without other electorates.

		Mrs Turia made the pledge after ALCP president Michael Appleby said his party would stand in the by-election unless Mrs Turia backed the legalisation of cannabis.
		Mr Appleby, whose party got just 454 of the almost 15,000 party votes cast in the electorate in 2002, said he was encouraged by Mrs Turia's statement but whether the party contested the seat was a matter for its management committee.
		Mrs Turia had refused on Monday to commit her new Maori party to a position on cannabis because the party's policies had not been formed.

	Turia At Centre Of Controversial Statement On Beaches

It is understood Mrs Turia drafted a statement distributed to Maori caucus members who attended a briefing on Monday morning.

	Libertarianz - Tariana Seeks Return to Stone Age
		"Tariana Turia's claim that allowing terminator gene technology will cause some mystical imbalance is primitive quackery that should be ignored" declared Libertarianz Leader Bernard Darnton today.
		"Turia's claim that genetic engineering 'will ultimately cause an imbalance, and in doing so, the link between our tikanga and the natural world will be affected' is fatuous nonsense," he says.
		However, he defends the rights of Turia and her mystic mujahideen to believe whatever they want, but he says their beliefs should not be allowed to interfere with the rights of other New Zealanders to use the technology if they wish.

		To ensure that Turia would stand in the by-election on July 10 as the first candidate for the Maori Party, there had to be a fast-tracking of the requirements of the NZ Electoral Commission.

	Inter Press Service News Agency
		CANBERRA, Sep 19 (IPS) - The leader of the Maori Party, Tariana Turia, has flagged that, over the next two weeks, she and her three new colleagues will convene hui (consultation meetings) with supporters, around the country, to determine which of the major parties they should back or any at all.
		What is clear at the moment is that the possibility of the Maori Party backing the National Party, which has attacked Maori-specific policies as "separatism", is exceedingly unlikely.
		Until late last year, Turia was one of the Labour Party parliamentarians elected to the seven seats specifically set aside for Maori representation.
